01 What makes it unique
The Micro Minnie 2108DS rounds out the 2108-series slide trio with a Murphy bed. Where the 2108FBS carries a fixed front bed and the 2108TB a twin-to-king arrangement, the 2108DS puts a Murphy bed up front that folds up against the wall over a sofa — so by day the front of the trailer becomes a sitting area, and by night it is a bedroom. A slide-out carries the dinette to open the daytime floor, the galley runs down one side, and the rear bath is the most generous of the trio, adding a full wardrobe.
The build is the standard Micro Minnie recipe — NXG engineered steel frame, 1.5-inch FilonMax fiberglass over Azdel composite, one-piece walkable TPO roof, Dexter TORFLEX torsion axles and an enclosed heated underbelly — with the line's 10-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, 13,500-BTU air conditioner and 60,000-BTU tankless water heater. The 31-gallon fresh tank with 25/25 gray and black tanks carries over, and the dinette converts to an optional EZ Glide Sofa Sleeper for a guest.
It comes at a cost in mass: at 4,291 pounds dry the 2108DS is the heaviest floorplan in the entire Micro Minnie line, and at 1,209 pounds of payload it has the least cargo headroom of any plan — the Murphy hardware, the slide and the full-wardrobe bath all add weight. But for a couple who want the Murphy bed's dual-mode floor and the roomiest rear bath the 2108 shell offers, the 2108DS is the pick, at a starting MSRP in the mid-$40,000s. One labeling note: RVUSA catalogs this floorplan as the 2180DS, a digit transposition of the factory's 2108DS code.

What it takes to tow this
Built from this floorplan’s verified weights. We publish the trailer side only.
Truck tow ratings are not listed: one model varies by thousands of pounds across engine, axle ratio, cab and package. The loaded range is the 10–15% tongue-weight convention for travel trailers, applied to this plan’s 5,500 lb GVWR, not a measurement of this unit. Hitch class is not used as a rating (SAE J684 covers trailers to 10,000 lb GVWR); read the rating stamped on your hitch.
03 Micro Minnie floorplan family
Winnebago's Micro Minnie line — a thirteen-floorplan range of genuinely light, 7-foot-wide travel trailers built to slip down narrow trails and tuck into tight sites, every one of them rated to a 5,500-pound GVWR. The 2108DS on this page is highlighted; each profiled plan links to its own page, and the remaining layouts are catalogued on the line hub.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1720FB | 20 ft | 3 | Compact rear-bath couples; RVUSA-only spec |
| 1800BH | 22 ft | 5 | Dual-entry bunkhouse; lightest family plan |
| 1821FB | 21 ft | 3 | Single-slide front-bed couples; RVUSA-only spec |
| 2000FRB | 22 ft | 3 | Front fixed-bed no-slide couples |
| 2000MRB | 22 ft | 3 | Front Murphy-bed no-slide couples |
| 2000TRB | 22 ft | 3 | Twin-bed no-slide couples |
| 2100BH | 22 ft | 5 | Dealer-stock-only slide bunkhouse |
| 2108FBS | 22 ft | 3 | Front-bed slide couples |
| 2108TB | 22 ft | 3 | Twin-to-king slide couples |
| 2108DS | 22 ft | 3 | Murphy-bed slide couples (RVUSA: 2180DS) |
| 2200FBH | 24 ft | 5 | Front fixed-bed slide bunkhouse |
| 2200MBH | 24 ft | 5 | Front Murphy-bed slide bunkhouse |
| 2200TBH | 24 ft | 5 | Twin-bed slide bunkhouse |
Every Micro Minnie shares the same 5,500-pound GVWR, 7-foot exterior width (the 2000MRB is the wide-body exception at 7′8″), 10-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, 13,500-BTU air conditioner and tandem 3,000-pound torsion axles — floorplans differ in length, bed layout and whether they carry a slide. Dry weights lead with the RVUSA structured records; Winnebago's 2026 brochure lists a slightly heavier dry weight on the carryover plans, noted on each page. Always confirm against the unit's weight sticker before towing.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Murphy bed, two living modes
The front Murphy bed folds up over a sofa to free the front of the trailer by day — the flexibility a slide buys, on top of the slide itself.
The roomiest 2108 bath
The 2108DS rear bath adds a full wardrobe the front-bed 2108FBS and twin 2108TB don't carry — useful storage for longer trips.
Completes the 2108 trio
Front-bed (2108FBS), twin-to-king (2108TB) or Murphy (2108DS): the three share a shell and a slide, and differ only in how the front sleeps.
Heaviest Micro Minnie, tightest payload — and a code quirk
At 4,291 lb dry the 2108DS is the heaviest plan in the line and, at 1,209 lb of payload, the most cargo-limited; load deliberately and weigh the rig. RVUSA also lists this floorplan as the 2180DS, a transposition of the factory 2108DS code.
05 How it compares
The fixed-bed member of the 2108 trio — a permanent front bed instead of the fold-away Murphy.
The twin-to-king member — twins that convert to a king, instead of the Murphy.
The no-slide Murphy wide-body — the same fold-away bed without the slide, in a roomier 7-foot-8 body.
06 Loading it for a trip
This floorplan carries its water comfortably. A full 31-gallon fresh tank is roughly 21% of the 1,209-pound cargo capacity, leaving the Micro Minnie 2108DS with a usable gear budget even when you tow full.
| Weight budget | Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo capacity as published (CCC) | 1,209 lb | Everything you add: gear, water, propane, batteries, food, people’s belongings. |
| Fresh tank filled (31 gal × 8.34 lb) | −259 lb | Water is the heaviest thing most owners add, and it is added first. |
| Cargo budget left with a full fresh tank | 950 lb | 21% of this plan’s capacity is spent before a single bag is loaded. |
| Per sleeping position, water aboard | 317 lb | A rough share of what is left across the 3 berths this plan sleeps. |
The published dry tongue weight of 436 pounds is 10% of the 4,291-pound dry weight, which sits inside the 10–15% band usually quoted for stable towing. It is still a dry figure: loading the front pass-through and the fresh tank both push it up.
Nothing above changes the ceiling. Loaded to its 5,500-pound GVWR the Micro Minnie 2108DS is towing 1,209 pounds more than its 4,291-pound dry figure, and that is the number your vehicle has to be rated for — not the brochure weight.
Tank balance is generous here: 31 gallons of fresh against 25 grey and 25 black, so waste capacity keeps pace with supply and the fresh tank is the constraint that ends a dry stay.
07 Where this floorplan sits
Ranked by GVWR, the Micro Minnie 2108DS sits 6 of 11 in the Micro Minnie line: 5,500 pounds against a line that runs from 5,500 to 5,500 pounds. That position is the useful thing to know, because the plans immediately either side of it are the real alternatives.
Either side of it in the same line: Micro Minnie 2100BH matches it exactly at 5,500 lb GVWR; and Micro Minnie 2108FBS matches it exactly at 5,500 lb GVWR.
10 other Micro Minnie plans share this floorplan’s 5,500 lb GVWR, so the ranking above separates plans that tow to the same ceiling. On a shared chassis the figure that actually differs between them is cargo capacity and where the weight sits, not the rating.
| Comparable travel trailers | GVWR (lb) | Dry (lb) | Sleeps | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Micro Minnie 2108DS | 5,500 | 4,291 | 3 | 22 ft 5 in |
| Jay Feather 16DB | 5,500 | 4,055 | 8 | 22 ft 11 in |
| Jay Flight 212QB | 5,500 | 4,335 | 5 | 25 ft 8 in |
| Jay Flight SLX 212QB | 5,500 | 4,200 | — | 25 ft 6 in |
| Forest River No Boundaries NB18.7 | 5,488 | 3,988 | — | 21 ft 8 in |
| EVO 163RD | 5,520 | 4,197 | — | 23 ft 2 in |
| IBEX 16MKD | 5,523 | 4,023 | — | 21 ft 8 in |
Against the Micro Minnie 2108DS: the Jay Feather 16DB sleeps 5 more; the Jay Flight 212QB is 3 ft longer and sleeps 2 more; the Jay Flight SLX 212QB is 3 ft longer. Those are differences in the published numbers only — what they cost, how they are built and how they live are separate questions each of those pages answers on its own terms.
Those are the nearest travel trailers from other lines by weight — one per line, picked by proximity on that figure and nothing else. They are listed so the same tow vehicle can be checked against real alternatives, not because they are equivalent inside; layout, build and price diverge sharply across that group.
For scale, the Micro Minnie floorplans profiled here run 3,821 to 4,291 pounds dry and 22 to 24 feet of exterior length across 11 plans. Where a floorplan falls in that spread usually says more about which vehicle can tow it, and which site it fits, than the layout name does.
Every profiled floorplan in this line, with the full weight table, is on the Micro Minnie line hub.
08 Common questions about the Micro Minnie 2108DS
How much does the Micro Minnie 2108DS weigh?
Its published dry weight is 4,291 lb and its GVWR is 5,500 lb, so 1,209 lb separates the empty trailer from its rated maximum. Size the tow vehicle to the 5,500 lb figure, not the dry one.
How much can the Micro Minnie 2108DS carry?
Cargo carrying capacity is 1,209 lb, 22% of the GVWR. Across the 958 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median share is 23%, so this plan sits close to the median. A full 31-gallon fresh tank is about 259 lb of it (21%), because federal rule counts on-board water as cargo (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2). The yellow cargo-capacity label inside your own trailer’s entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3) states the figure for that unit as delivered, options included, and it is the one that binds.
What is the tongue weight of the Micro Minnie 2108DS?
The published dry tongue weight is 436 lb, 10% of the dry weight. Across the 1,148 travel trailers on this site that publish both figures, the median dry tongue share is 12%, so this plan sits 2 points below the median. Loaded, it changes with where the cargo sits, and it is carried by the tow vehicle’s payload, not its tow rating.
What size tow vehicle does the Micro Minnie 2108DS need?
A tow rating of at least 5,500 lb, this floorplan’s GVWR, plus enough payload for the tongue load, passengers and cargo. The dry tongue weight alone takes 436 lb of that payload before anything is loaded. Payload is printed on the tire and loading placard on the tow vehicle’s driver-side door pillar (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3); this site lists no truck ratings because they vary by build.
How many people does the Micro Minnie 2108DS sleep?
It is rated to sleep 3. 5 of the 11 Micro Minnie floorplans profiled here that publish a count are rated for more. Rated positions include convertible furniture.
What are the tank capacities on the Micro Minnie 2108DS?
Fresh 31 gallons, grey 25 gallons, black 25 gallons. Combined waste capacity is 50 gallons.
How long is the Micro Minnie 2108DS?
Exterior length is 22' 5". That makes it the 6th-shortest of the 11 Micro Minnie floorplans profiled here that publish an exterior length (21 ft 11 in to 23 ft 11 in). Check it against campsite and storage length; the exterior figure includes the tongue or pin box.
Every figure in these answers is read from this page’s verified specification table. Where the manufacturer publishes nothing, the question is not answered rather than estimated.
09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

11 NHTSA safety record
This floorplan belongs to the Micro Minnie line, and NHTSA holds 14 recall campaigns and 14 owner complaints against that line. They are separate records and are not added together — a recall is a manufacturer-confirmed defect with a remedy; a complaint is one owner’s account, which NHTSA does not verify.
What to look at on a used one. Across the 14 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are equipment (21%), structure (21%) and electrical system (14%). That is where owners of this family have had trouble, so it is where an inspection is worth the time.
Reports that name the 2108DS
1 of those record name this floorplan specifically rather than the line as a whole.

Recall coverage is not complete — our harvest of NHTSA’s recall API ran 1,556 queries, of which 0 failed and 242 returned an explicit zero. A line can still be under-reported where NHTSA files a roster under a parent name, or where a match rests on the wording of the recall rather than its model field. Complaints come from the complete bulk file but are unverified and self-selected: a high count tracks how many units a line sold at least as much as how well it was built. Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Micro Minnie line page.
